titan? LOUIS HAROLD LIEBS, or woonnavnn, NEWHYORK FINGER RING,

Application filed June as,

of the two sections; the two sections being capable of being separated and one section worn as a completed ring by one person, say

I a young lady, who may recently have become engaged or married, and the other section of the ring worn by another person, such as the. husband or fianc. The object of the invention is not only to indicate the relation-ship between the parties, but also to enable one of the parties to identify the other in the event of one of said parties becoming lost or killed, but still better to emphasize the relationship between the parties by being able to match one section with the other emblematic of the love and affection between said parties.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the hand of a young lady wearing one sec tion or my improved ring and the hand of a man'wearing the other section of my improved ring.

Figure 2 shows the two sections of the v ring in a separated condition.

Figure 3 shows the sections of the ring brought together. V

Figure 4- shows one side of the ring with the words Mary and Joe engraved on the 40 same, the ring being constructed to be separated along an irregular line extending through the two names Figure 5 has a similar View, but of the other side of the ring and showing an en- 5 gagement or marriage date.

Figure 6 shows my improved ring con structed of two sections and separated along the line of two names and a date appearing on opposite sides of the ring.

' p In the drawings, 1 represents my improved 1929. Serial No. 374,561,

engagement 'or marriage ring which is formed of two sections, 2 and 3, said sect ons being formed along one edge with matching serrations or indentations, 4, so

that when thetwo sections are brought togethcr in alignment with the serrations or indentations, a complete ring, 1, is formed,

- as shown in Figure 3, butwhich may be separated'to form two separate rings, as shown in Figure 2, one sectlon to be worn by a lady and the other by'a man, as shown in Figure 1. i V v v I I In F igure 4: I" have shown an extended idea or modification of my invention, in

that the two sections, 2 and 3 of the ring are provided on one of the matching faces along the line of separation, with two names, such as Mary and Joe, as shownat 5 in Figure 4, and with a date on'theopposite face of the two sections along the line of separation, as shown at 6 in Figure 5.

With this last described construction, the ring, 1, may be separated into two sections, 2 and 3, as shown in Figure 6, on an irregular line through the names Mary and J 0e, and through the marriage or engagement date appearing on the opposite face of the two sections. When the two sections are brought together by matching the irregular serrations or indentations along the edges of the two sections, the names Mary andrJoe will appear completed onrthe ring and also the marriage or engagement date.

In putting my invention into use, a couple on becoming engaged or married, the man presents to the lady, one section of the ring, retaining the othersection to be worn by himself. The two sections of the ring, one being worn by thelady and the otherv by the Q man, will keep in constant remembrance the relationship between the parties and if at any time either of the parties wishes to wear a the two sections as a single ring, he or she can do so by loaning one section to the other.

Again, it either of the parties should he accidentally killed or become lost, it would be a simple matter of identification to bring the two sections of the ring'together and it the serrations 0r inden a ions p rfect y matched to make a complete ring, the identification would be perfectly established.

In the event that a number of similar combinations of rings were sold in various sections of the country, identifications could be further and more definitely established by means of having the first names of the contracting parties engraved on the ring with an irregular line of separation extending through the two names.

The'irregular edges of the two sections will be finished so as not to cut or pinch the finger of the wearer and also to constitute complete rings in themselves. The sections may be made as elaborate and ornamental as desired and finished to suit the tasteliof the wearer-L "Having now described my invention, what claim is new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is:

- 1 A finger ring comprising a band eircumferent ially separated intermediately by a cut of complex irregular curvature whereby two bands are formed having matching indentured edges lacing one another throughout e r ircalmferential, extent, so that the bands can be matched by bringing them together while on the finger.
